Privacy

Our commitment

Architecture Media Pty Ltd has established this privacy policy in accordance with the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000, and has a firm commitment to respect your privacy accordingly. This privacy policy covers all personal information that we hold and any personal information that we may collect from time to time. You may be able to use our sites for a limited period without providing any personal details; however we may ask that you tell us some basic information about yourself. This statement explains our undertaking not to pass on any of your details without your prior knowledge and consent.

Collection and use of personal information

When we ask you to provide personal information we will do so in a lawful and fair way. Generally, this information is collected to allow us to contact you, to facilitate your request to contact a company that has information listed on our sites, before you enter a contest or to order e-mail newsletters. For example: If you request further information about a product listed on our sites you may be asked for your address, telephone and other contact details to facilitate this request. The provision of the information is voluntary. However, if you choose not to provide the information requested we may be unable to keep you informed about products, services, offers and events or to process your request e.g. registration, purchase or enquiry, and this may preclude or limit your access to the goods and services available. We will tell you why we are collecting information and identify any third parties the information is disclosed to. If we collect the information from a third party we will take reasonable steps to advise you of that collection. We will also provide details of how and where to contact us.

We will only disclose personal information in accordance with the Act. This means that it will be disclosed if:

we told you when collecting it that it would be disclosed for that purpose or for a related purpose that you would reasonably expect;

we have your consent;

it is part of business assets which we are selling;

we are required by law to disclose it; or

it is otherwise permitted under the Act.
